janis ian – the last train lyrics
the last train lyrics
[verse 1]
how long, how long has this train been gone?
was there a man who asked for me?
i thought he’d wait to say so long
i’m later than i meant to be
[verse 2]
the station master closed his eyes
said, “my dear, the trains are gone
though forty years ago this night
the last train left for viet nam”
[verse 3]
she said, “my hair is lit with gray
no roses bloom upon my lips
but seems like only yesterday
he graced me with a lover’s kiss”
[verse 4]
then in the distance, thunder pealed
a whistle pierced the cricket’s song
and you could see the sparks and the wheels
of the last train back from viet nam
[verse 5]
it stopped just long enough to board
and as she ran, time set her free
a young man helped her through the door
and said, “i knew you would wait for me”
[verse 6]
there’s many a young boy who won’t come back
many a young girl who waits alone
sometimes they meet on life’s long track
they board that last train and go home
